Storm Chasers and Tornadoes

Chapter 1

What vehicles do they use

Some storm chasers use vehicles called a scout and a Tornado Intercept Vehicle which is also called a TIV (T-i-v)for short. People can also use a Doppler on Wheels which is called a DOW for short. There are way more vehicles that can be used in storm chasing which 

some of those are a scout, and a Dominator which is basically a TIV.

Chapter 2

What they do

Storm chasers collect scientific data so they can get a better warning time so instead of 15 minutes before the tornado hits the town it can be like 30 minutes or more of a warning time.

Some storm chasers use a special instrument called a probe. Storm chasers try to put the probes in the path of a tornado to make the probe go inside the tornado. Then what that does is it sends some data like what wind speed a tornado has to a computer.
